I agree that "bulka" describes a rather large risen round wheat roll,
soft crusted like a hamburger bun but larger and more dense. But there
is another name for the matzo meal passover rolls... been on the tip of
my tongue all day. If either of my parents were still here I would
have posted it long ago. There are many recipes for this passover roll
on the net but so far none I've checked have given a name, not any name
other than "Passover Roll".
One day it will come to me.
